Reverse engineering

Reverse engineering is the process of using the information you obtain from a component to either recreate it or modify it. [Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)]? can be used to digitise? your component and the information can be utilised in computer aided modelling. New and improved techniques in reverse engineering include [Laser Scanning]? which, as the name implies, uses laser beams to scan across the surface of components of any shape and display the results in real time.
